Chapter 116 The Inertia of History

Chapter 116 The Inertia of History

Half-truths and half-false are the most convincing things like lies. If it is said that one ton of rice per mu is barely believed, one hundred thousand catties is too much. These things may not be piled up, let alone seeds.

There has been news about the checkers project. Although many people expressed doubts, William White knew that Big Blue had officially entered the field of microcomputers.

As for why it is so low-key, only God knows. The Blue Giant is a huge machine, and it is impossible to change its pace easily. Regarding microcomputers, they do not take them seriously.

Can computers be popularized in ordinary families?

They think it's a joke, game consoles have this possibility, and save the rest, it's unrealistic.

I don't know if Atari should burst into tears, the blue giant is very optimistic about them. Regarding the arcade game World of Legends, they don't think it's going to make it into the home.

They are very clear about the price of Motorola's 68000 CPU. One CPU is so expensive. Of course, arcade machines are no problem, and no one in the family can afford it.

Soon, Intel's 8080 series chips came into their sight. Although the performance is not as good as that of Motorola, the price is very suitable.

In fact, there is another important factor. The IT industry pays attention to inheritance. The guys who founded Intel were all born at Fairchild Semiconductor. Motorola can't do it, they belong to bumpkins.

Texas Instruments?

Those disrespectful cowboys just mess things up.

Intel in this era is actually in trouble. Their main business is not CPU, and dynamic memory is the focus of their business.

This is the memory of future generations. As long as you have enough money, everyone can enter this industry.

As long as production is involved, Intel is basically beaten. Not only can the memory factory fail to do well in Europe, but even local companies in the United States can't beat it.

What is even more frightening is that footbath companies have already intervened in this field, and their future will definitely not be easy.

At such an embarrassing point of time, Giant Blue extended an olive branch.

William White couldn't help sighing, the inertia of history is terrible, Motorola is still ignored, then there is nothing to say, just follow the inertia of history, and don't try to change anything.

The office software has finally ushered in a challenger, and the leading Lotus company is obviously a little aggressive and intends to give White Software a hate.

"68 yuan? Very good, Tom, don't worry about them, just follow the plan." Such a big piece of cake will of course attract predators, but it's a pity that their thinking is too simple, and it's so easy to overturn it.

"Suzuki, ask the legal department to start the litigation process. Don't care about winning or losing. It's best to hold them back. If you can limit their sales, you can pay some price."

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."

In patent disputes, it is very easy for the big to bully the small. Your software may need to be taken off the shelves, and the company account will also be partially frozen.

Because they have applied for asset preservation, it is useless if you are not satisfied, it is just so unreasonable.

Lotus, which is on the weak side, can only take advantage of the anti-monopoly clause. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to succeed.

If you sue a company that has been established for less than a year, the Ministry of Justice is not so shameless. If the other party is weak, it is not impossible to warn you.

William White?

This is a nightmare for many people.

If you're not afraid of his venomous tongue, it's okay to try it, just be prepared to be humiliated.

Just when Lotus was in dire straits, White Software launched a new model. Although the improvement was not obvious, it was amazing enough. The most frightening thing was that the price of the old software directly dropped to 29.9.

What a speechless price this is. Your Lotus software is not as good as the other party's, and now you are facing such a blow, you really don't know what to do.

This method of attacking competitors is absolutely brutal and domineering. If you have no solution in the short term, you probably have to close your doors and go out of business.

The biggest controversy of patents mainly focuses on the file format, which is the place where all opponents are most speechless.

If you use it, you will infringe the copyright, and if you don’t use it, you can’t print it, unless you don’t use Apple’s printing adapter card.

Of course, other computers are fine, but users will never accept the inconsistent format. Does it mean that he needs to install two sets of software, and he needs to make two copies of the form.

There are no such users in this world. They will definitely vote with their feet. Now it is even better, your price is twice as expensive as others.

lotus?

Just a joke.

The trick of using upstream and downstream relationships to strangle competitors is not original to William White. Everyone is actually doing it, but to varying degrees.

It makes sense for William White to be nervous about Lotus, but he really doesn't understand why this product was born prematurely. Shouldn't my buddies still have two years of leisure?

Sometimes, it is not a good thing to be prophetic, and he is also delusional. In such a lucrative industry, even if there is no lotus, there is still lotus. How could it be possible for him to take advantage of the two-year bargain.

In the current IT ecosystem, everyone's eyes are blood red, and no one wants to pounce on them and bite them.

The current fierce confrontation has indeed made many people fearful. Although the company is young, it is extremely sophisticated in handling things. It is definitely not easy to bully.

These companies in Silicon Valley usually have venture capital involved. They are all profit-seeking people. If the risk is too high, they will not invest.

Obviously, the investors of Lotus Software backed down, and it was too stupid to further increase funds to fight. It would be best if someone recruited them, and they could withdraw in time.

For companies in this era, this level of suppression is not common. Lianhua was indeed beaten, and several other companies simply capsized.

White Software's ruthless methods naturally caused a backlash from the industry, and the most joyful dance was naturally his old enemy Larry Ellison.

"We welcome competition. The premise is that you don't plagiarize. We have 100 million US dollars lying on our books, just to deal with thieves. You even copy the wrong code, but you still try to quibble. I'm sorry about the doubts of some people with ulterior motives. Your own business, I heard your account is empty. May God bless you.”

The anger against White Software is still as sharp as ever. With the disclosure of document after document, plagiarism has become a common consensus.

Plagiarism is not impossible. In this era, it is really nothing. The key is that you will not copy even if you copy, which is really disappointing.

"Fuck, there are still blank instructions here?"

This grandson is too bad, what a shit accident, this is too nonsense, this is clearly a hole dug long ago.

The Ministry of Justice, which is about to move, has also shrunk. You really don't deserve sympathy. You can still be found out with evidence. It's useless to win this lawsuit.

Although Laomei encourages competition, it never encourages plagiarism. If everyone does this, it is really scary how innovative the United States will be.
